Margaret (Zeller) O'Toole Obituary (1933 - 2018)

Margaret O'Toole (nee Zeller), of Philadelphia, age 85, passed away on December 22, 2018 surrounded by her family. She was born in Philadelphia to Frederick and Margaret (nee Gartner) Zeller. She graduated in 1950 from Mastbaum High School. After high school, she remained in Philadelphia, where she married Edward F. O'Toole, Sr., and raised their 6 children. Margaret was a strong, independent woman with a sharp sense of style, and a penchant for fancy sneakers. She loved her summers down the shore in Sea Isle City, she was a voracious reader and a big fan of Harry Potter and suspense thrillers. She had a wicked sweet tooth, which she handed down to many of her kin. Her greatest and most admirable quality is the true and unconditional love and care she bestowed upon her family. She is preceded in death by her husband Edward F. O'Toole Sr. She was cherished by her six loving children; Patricia, Maureen Miller (George), Edward F. Jr., Fred (Vicki), Bernadette Foisy (Michael) and Jill Celia (Ron). She was a proud and doting Mom-Mom and Gram and will be forever missed by her nine grandchildren; Melanie, Cristalle, Edward III, Katrina Margaret, Michelle, Jason, Christopher, Eric and Nick, as well as her 6 adoring great-grandchildren. She is the Dear sister of Marion Alwine (Ray) and the late Frederick. With respect to Margaret's wishes, a private memorial will be held at a later date.
